Episode 3

Islay-born artist Heather Dewar combines the role of artist and interviewer, creating colour portraits of well-known Gaels while teasing out of them every little detail of their life story!

Heather travels to Applecross where she meets Ewen Mackenzie. A former fisherman and ferryman, few people know the peninsula more thoroughly. Although now retired, Ewen remains a busy man, heavily involved in his local church. Heather met Ewen once before and has longed to draw his portrait ever since. Now’s her chance!

Tha an t-ealanaiche Fraoch Nic an Deòir à Ìle air ais le sreath ùr de Dhealbhan Fraoich. A’ tarraing is a’ còmhradh, nì i dealbhan dathte de Ghàidheil air a bheil sinn eòlach – a’ tarraing asda a h-uile criomag eachdraidh-beatha!

Sa phrògram seo tha Fraoch a’cur a h-aghaidh air a’Chomraich, a thachairt air Eòghain MacCoinnich. Bha esan na iasgair agus cuideachd greis ag aiseag – chan eil mòran a tha cho eòlach air cladaichean na sgìre. Ged a tha e air a dhreuchd a leigeil dheth, tha Eòghain gu math trang, gu h-àraid timchioll na h-eaglaise.

Thachair Fraoch air aon turus roimhe agus on uairsin bha i a’miannachadh a dhealbh a dhèanamh: a-nis tha’n cothrom aice!
